-`geni_allocated` represents resources that have been allocated to a slice without provisioning the resources. This represents a cheap and reversibile resource allocation. When a sliver is created and moved into state 2 (`geni_allocated`), the aggregate produces a manifest RSpec identifying which resources are included in the sliver. These resources are exclusively available to the containing sliver, but are not ready for use. In particular, allocating a sliver should be a cheap and quick operation, which the aggregate can readily undo without impacting the state of slivers which are fully provisioned. For some aggregates, transitioning to this state may be a no-op.

 States 2 and 3 (`geni_allocated` and `geni_provisioned`) have aggregate and possibly resource specific timeouts. By convention the `geni_allocated` state timeout is typically short. The `geni_provisioned` state timeout is the sliver expiration. If the client does not transition the sliver from `geni_allocated` to `geni_provisioned` before the end of the `geni_allocated` state timeout, the sliver reverts to `geni_unallocated`. If the experimenter needs more time, the experimenter should be allowed to request a renewal of either timeout.  Note that typically the sliver expiration time (timeout for state 3, `geni_provisioned`) will be notably longer than the timeout for state 2, `geni_allocated`.
